| How about using the '(values *)' declaration?
although that is quite elegant, it is unfortunately not ANSI Common Lisp:
This type specifier [values] can be used only as the value-type in a
FUNCTION type specifier or a THE special form. It is used to specify
individual types when multiple values are involved.
I think the usage that CMUCL made of this type specifier and declaration
should be actively considered for the review of ANSI Common Lisp.
